How to Balance Full-Time Work and Blockchain Upskilling?
After 9-10 hours of intense coding, debugging, and back-to-back meetings, how do you find the energy to study again?
Some evenings, I push myself to upskill—motivated, focused, making progress.
Other days, I just crash. Mentally drained. Zero bandwidth left.
That’s been my biggest struggle: managing time and energy.
Now, for context—I'm a full-time blockchain developer. My days revolve around writing smart contracts, refining security models, and dealing with scalability challenges. But I'm aiming for the next step: becoming a blockchain architect.
The problem is… how do you juggle both?
If you’ve been in a similar situation—how did you do it?
How did you manage your sleep schedule, keep your energy up, and stay consistent without burning out?
Has anyone passed this transition and switched to blockchain architect role, how did you manage upskilling, which part you focused first and any daily routine changes should i do? TYI
